Azmina, Mary and Rodney's friend from way back when Rodney was in the army came from Detroit, MI. She brought her two sons with her. I never get to spend much time with her when she is here, but I think she is so cool. I guess she's really not my friend anyway and I should feel awkward and get over it. Her ex-husband and Rodney were good friends and roommates in the army. So technically she is one of their old couple friend. I am so glad the two divorces didn't bust up the friendships. She is really nice to me and good to my children also.
